Village Dining - Tai O Fishing Village, Hong Kong

During our last trip to Tai O, we also had a chance to dine in the village, where our local hosts cooked us simple but delish food. Let's have a look at how the kitchen looks like.

Where's the sous vide machine? Heheheh

Simple gas stove, old school rice cooker, a good start for a yummy meal.

Simple and fresh ingredients.

...and a wood stove for the soup. When was the last time you saw something like this?

Fresh mushrooms.

Stir fried tomatoes and eggs.

Self service soup station.

Corn, egg and tofu soup.

Potato and veggie curry.

Lettuce and mushrooms in soy sauce.

Pan fried tofu in soy sauce.

WTH? Isn't this Tai O Fishing Village? Where are all the seafood? Heheheh. Since this meal is organized by the company that I work for, it is strictly vegetarian. The hosts admitted that they've never prepared any vegetarian meal before and was pretty taken-aback by the request. Nevertheless, they still did a good job preparing a nice meal for us, my coworkers and I had a fantastic experience dining there.
